Godhunter Octopus is a 6/6 for six that can't attack unless an opponent controls an enchantment or artifact — a restriction so common to hit and so easy to miss that it's unreliable as a finisher. A vanilla 6/6 for six is already below rate in Commander, and tying its combat ability to opponents' permanents you don't control makes it worse.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Godhunter Octopus is legal across Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but sees essentially no play in any of them. In competitive formats like Legacy and Vintage, a six-mana 6/6 with a conditional attack restriction doesn't register. In Pauper it's legal but outclassed by cheaper threats with no strings attached. Commander is the only format where the enchantment and artifact density at most tables makes the condition easy to satisfy, but even there a 6/6 for six with no enters-the-battlefield effect, no evasion, and no text beyond its attack restriction is far below what a six-mana slot demands.

Price Context
Current price
$0.04 bulk tier
At $0.04, Godhunter Octopus is deep bulk — the price reflects demand, which is essentially none. That floor holds; there's no competitive context or spike-worthy synergy that would move it.
